While it has not yet been enforced, my employer has an MDM. Because I do not want to violate this policy or install something that gives my employer access to my device, I do not use my personal device for work and I do not have a work device other than my laptop.
This has given me some interesting perspectives.
I do not need to be connected at all times.
I can walk away.
They pay me for work hours, not for my free time.
I can easily disconnect every night and weekend, even emergencies in my area can wait.
Seems people think things are much more urgent than they should be or actually are.
I wish I could get my partner to see it this way… they work in IT and manage the MDM tho, and the other person with access has been partner’s friend and colleague for over 10 years, so partner is confident it’ll all be fine.
Such a dumb mindset for someone who constantly complains of being burnt out… like no shit you are burned out, you check work emails all day/night, and handle them regardless of time…
Blaming the MDM for this is a bit off the mark. You literally get a “Digital Wellbeing” setting you can use to set hours for your work profile on Android.
I’m not saying that concerns about installing an MDM aren’t good to have or consider, just that it makes no difference to your personal choice of when to be accessible to work.
An MDM work profile is much easier to set that boundary with than being logged into the apps directly.
Tell your partner you want them to try the setting.
I’m not blaming it on that, I was saying I just wish I could get my partner to have the mindset of the person I was replying to. But they won’t because they are in charge of said system so don’t see the privacy hit, and that’s all they are focused on.
They have cut down use when around me but… meh, all I can do is encourage stepping back a bit, they have to actually do it and… won’t.
You may want to pause your work profile when you’re not working. For example, at the end of your workday, over the weekend, or when you’re on vacation.
When your work profile is paused, work apps won’t run, generate notifications, or consume data and battery life. You also won’t be able to access work apps or widgets. If you try, you’ll see a message asking if you want to turn your work profile on again.
You can pause a work profile on Android at any time and it won’t let you open them until the user decides to run them again
Your partner doesn’t disable the work profile because they don’t want to, not because they can’t (Or can’t because of company policy/culture)

I know it’s by choice, that’s why it’s frustrating.
